Chantal Meza is an abstract painter who discovered
her passion for art at the age of twelve. Having mastered many techniques in
years of study, she developed hundreds of drawings of the human body, gradually
finding her free expression in abstract art. Her original works combine
different techniques such as engraving and watercolor in a passionate and
moving style.

Chantal's home environment places her amongst many local
artisans and crafts-persons, whose unique regional skills date back to the
pre-Hispanic period. Chantal methods have incorporated these skills, from
subconscious memories and direct family participation, learning to apply them
in novel ways. A synergy of styles result in original and sensational forms of
expressions. Chantal's work represents both a marriage and crossover between
the old artisan techniques, which include the direct use of hands, and
materials such as Onyx, and her contemporary ideas about the need for sensual
abstract engagement with the world. In doing so, the memory of her landscape is
reimagined upon her emotive canvases. A visual memory of experience allows her
to connect the real with the abstract in ways that have become a fundamental
part of her paintings.

In her recent years, Chantal, has shifted her emphasis
towards producing large oil paintings to parallel the emotional and impulsive
magnitude of her work. Her works have featured in more than 20 Collective and
Individual Exhibitions around the Republic of Mexico in Museums and Galleries,
such as: National Museum of Art (MUNAL) Arroyo de la Plata Gallery, Museum of
Modern Art, Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT), National Watercolor Museum, Helena
Fine Art Gallery, Chiapas Museum of Science and Technology and B'Nai Or Art
Gallery as well as her participation in Auctions, Workshops, Competitions, Art
Fairs, Interventions and various publications of her work in media, digital and
print Magazines.The abstract works of Chantal are autobiographical,
expressing her passion for life, which inspires in the viewer strong and
powerful responses. Her works are full of emotion, intensity and desire. A
number of her works have been purchased on the international market, reflecting
her growing reputation around the world. Having presented her work in an
individually curated exhibition at the tender age of 19, Chantal has received
considerable praise and acclaim for her work, resulting in the 2013 acquisition
prize at the Second National Contest of Professional Art Painting Awarded by
Rodin Royal Talens in Mexico City, based at the National Art Museum (MUNAL).

Chantal is currently working on a number of projects,
including the creation of the "Art with life", which is to be a
dedicated foundation, established to support the health and education of children
through art. She is further developing an artistic program to be implemented in
a new School of Arts and Crafts, as well as a series of sculpture-paintings in
stone to address pressing on social issues.

Chantal's curiosity focuses
on the human psyche. Through her art, she
seeks to scrutinize in the depths of human desire, expressing the lived
experiences many feel but struggle to put into words. Her works are profoundly
intimate; yet speak to wider social issues. In this regard, her works offer an
emotional confrontation, tapping into the complexity of emotions, which she
believes are the source of liberation or perdition. Such interest informs her
style, which appears on the canvas in an impulsive and explosive way. Chantal
then sees herself as the object of experimentation by which all sensations are
transformed.Chantal paints what she feels. Her works offer mediation on the
mysterious and the unknown, letting her hands become the bridge that transmits inner
feelings to the internal world.
